IMAP IDLE support #6

Open geofft opened 12 years ago

geofft commented 12 years ago

Crispin believes, incorrectly, that IDLE is useless and never implemented it: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.mail.pine/browse_thread/thread/52b252d0946abce6/3cad58f05efdf57c%233cad58f05efdf57c?pli=1

We can do better.

It's worth noting that Crispin's misunderstanding means the entire c-client suite lacks IDLE-like support, which should be implemented for local files using inotify or equivalent. Also that we want to add TCP keepalives.

Hello, any progress on this? The link to google groups doesn't seem to be working anymore.
